By the second spring, the hens started having chicks of their own.This is Heather, who had two mommies. (After several weeks, Timmy--the smaller of the two hens vying for custody of the rapidly-growing chick--won out.)

The beautiful kitty would surely make a wonderful peeps momma... not likely! We did have a Siamese once who found a baby rabbit, brought it home, cleaned it and then went to sleep with it in his bed. We had to find the nest and hope for the best... momma might not take to kindly to kitty spit smell.

We will be getting chickens soon after winter passes so I'll be re visiting your older posts!Hey I just saw my lino print go by on the"tumtum tree" oh there are some nice pics there.....love the bunny driving the tank print!Oh and new stuff in Etsy....off to have a look.Cheers

"One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it--it was the black kitten's fault entirely." (L. Carroll, Through the Looking Glass)
I'm Yankee-Born and Southern-Raised, which makes me kind of Southern Gothic (in the old literary sense of the word). After 15 years in the Big Apple, I spent 4 years on a farm in Michigan raising chickens and llamas and learning to spin, knit, and needle-felt. Now I'm back home in NYC with my much-beloved spouse and one crazy tortiseshell cat. You can also find me on Ravelry.com as okitten.
